Yubico Demonstrates the Simplicity of Security With YubiKey Authentication at Black Hat

PALO ALTO, CA — (Marketwired) — 08/03/16 —

The YubiKey is the strong authentication bullseye the industry has been aiming at for years, enabling one single key to secure an unlimited number of applications. Yubico–s innovative keys offer strong authentication via Yubico one-time passwords (OTP), FIDO Universal 2nd Factor (U2F), and smart card (PIV, OpenPGP, OATH) — all with a simple tap or touch of a button. YubiKeys protect access for everyone from individual home users to the world–s largest organizations.

At Black Hat 2016, Yubico will be demonstrating the simplicity of U2F authentication across Google, Dropbox, and recent integrations with GitLab and Bitbucket. With U2F, individuals are able to use the same YubiKey across multiple services, with zero shared secrets and no drivers or client software to install. Additional demonstrations will include OTP login and mobile U2F authentication over NFC.

The state of authentication is in such disarray today that a black hat is no longer needed to wreak havoc. One avenue to authentication improvement is offered by the FIDO Alliance–s open specifications built around public key cryptography. Does FIDO present a better mousetrap? Are there security soft spots for potential exploitation, such as man-in-the-middle attacks, exploits aimed at supporting architecture, or compromises targeting physical hardware? We will pinpoint where vulnerabilities are hidden in FIDO deployments, how difficult they are to exploit, and how enterprises and organizations can protect themselves. wearables and authentication options further evolve. Attendees will hear the pros and cons of modern authentication, and learn today–s best pairings of authentication type and use case for consumers and enterprises.
